What the college says

Economics is a challenging subject that requires strong analytical and evaluative skills for essays, and mathematical skills for recognising trends in and interpreting data. The most important skill for success in Economics A Level is to be able to apply orthodox economic theory to a scenario, identify what it is about the scenario that is unorthodox, and subsequently recognise the limitations of conventional economic analysis. Essentially an interrogative mind is the key to success for every Economics student.
